re: Guild Charter (Updated: 05/01/2013)

Cynical formed in Feb 2011 by a group of like-minded players who wanted to see end game content, but still maintain a casual atmosphere within the guild. Maintaining a fun and safe environment for our members to interact in is our top priority. Our Officer team is always willing to hear concerns/suggestions, and Cynical is constantly evolving because of this.

Our core members and officers have vast experience in a number of other MMORPG's, including WOW, Rift, Aion, SWTOR, L2, GW, EQ, etc.
What we Offer:

Elder: A member of the guild that has reached max level, and who has been in the guild for more then 6 months,and have been approved by the Officer Team. Elders will act as Class Leaders. An Elder must prove themselves to be an asset to the guild via their actions over this period of time. An Elder has some access to some guid perk functionality.

Member: An active member of the guild that has reached max level, and who has been in the guild for more then 1 month, and has been approved by the Officer Team.

Recruit: A recruit is a trial member, or any guild member not yet max level. Recruit status for new members joining at max level is 1 month.

Zero Tolerance Policy:
Cynical has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to drama, hate speech, racism, sexism, bigotry, or discrimination against other members because of their religious or sexual orientation, or political beliefs.

Any negative action/behaviour taken by a guild member that falls under this category will result in that member getting a ONE-TIME-ONLY warning. If that member continues, despite this warning at any time in the future, that member may be removed from the guild.

Use of the words F*g, N*gger, C*nt, etc, or any other hate slang when used in the context of verbally assulting another person, is prohibited in guild or voice chat. We are all adults, so please make sure to respect one another, and act like it.

Inactivity
Cynical prides itself on being an active, thriving guild. We understand that real life takes precedence over a game, and we do not police your play time, nor tell you how many hours a week you must play.

We do need to take steps to make sure the guild remains active however, and therefore we have made the following 2 rules with regards to inactivity.

If any member of Cynical needs to take extended time away from the game for any reason, please use the Absences forum to let the Guild Officers know how long you will be away. Your spot in the guild will be secured for up to 2 months (possibly more in special cirumstances). If you are only going to be away a few days you do not need to post. Pming the GM or Officers in game or on fourms does NOT count as a formal request for an Extended Absense. Please make an official post on the forums, including the estimated date you thik you will be returning.

Any member of Cynical that dissapears from the game without posting for more then 15 days will be removed from the guild. The Officer Team feels this timeline is fair. Cynical uses the OFFICIAL LEADERBOARDSwebsite to track inactivity, as these dates are directly from Arenanet.

If you come back from being inactive, and find you are removed from the guild for inactivity, you are welcome to -rejoin the guild, provided you will be actively playing again.

MAGIC NUMBER: 99
